Walking down the winding path
Through the narrow alleyway
Sixteen summers, you and me
Together running to the bay
The warm sea breeze on my skin
With the salty scent of waves within
Barefoot walking on the sand
Watching boats drift near the land
The ocean wind brushes my youthful face
The waves crash on my innocent ways
Now at forty-seven, I look back
Stepping again on that same sandy track
The warm sea breeze still blows around
The ocean waves forever make their sound
Reflections shimmer on the water’s face
A few gray hairs, life’s worn grace
I walk and sway, I stroll and sway
As if I’ve returned to that youthful day
The blazing sun in the sky
An ice pop melting in my hand
Sixteen’s long summer days
Under a cloudless, blue expanse
Lying down upon the shore
Every muscle lazy, wanting more
Holding seashells to my ear
Endless echoes I could hear
The ocean breeze tangled my hair
The waves soaked my anxious stare
Now at forty-seven, I look back
Stepping again on that same sandy track
The warm sea breeze still blows around
The ocean waves forever make their sound
Reflections shimmer on the water’s face
A few gray hairs, life’s worn grace
I walk and sway, I stroll and sway
As if I’ve returned to that youthful day
Now at forty-seven, I look back
Stepping again on that same sandy track
The warm sea breeze still blows around
The ocean waves forever make their sound
Reflections shimmer on the water’s face
A few gray hairs, life’s worn grace
I walk and sway, I stroll and sway
As if I’ve returned to that youthful day
